Bad Writing

Trying to find something worth reading I realized that science fiction and fantasy have degenerated into a vast wasteland of subliterate bilge. Every other book seems to be something along the lines of
"Book Four of the Chronicles of the Droningonandon Saga Trilogy" or some such unreadable bilge.

Who reads this crap? Who writes it?

Mystery writing isn't any better. Every book is part of some series with a cutesy title such as
"The F is for Frday Evening the Rabbi's Cat Had a Ham and Cheese Sandwich Murders".
